  • the invention relates to metallized films, in particular metallized films on both sides, which are outstandingly suitable as a dielectric in capacitors.
  • the films according to the invention are polyolefin films, namely those made from cycloolefin polymers, which, surprisingly, do not have to be exposed to any processes for increasing the surface tension or surface energy (such as corona treatment), which are otherwise customary for polyolefins, before the metallization.
  • the dielectric loss factor is important for the use of polymer films as dielectric in capacitors tan ⁇ , the temperature resistance, ie the resistance of the mechanical (eg shrink) and the electrical film properties at elevated temperature and the metallizability of great importance.
  • Low dielectric loss factors are of particular interest in high-frequency AC applications, since low ones tan ⁇ the electrical power loss is also low. Increased electrical power loss - and thus increased tan ⁇ - Means heating, so that the temperature resistance of the film material can be exceeded and the capacitor can be damaged or destroyed. Accordingly, an ideal capacitor dielectric has a low dielectric loss factor combined with high temperature resistance.
  • polyester foils are easier to metallize than polyolefin foils, since these have to be subjected to a surface treatment before the metallization in order to achieve adhesion of the metal to the foil.
  • the metallization of thin foils for use in capacitors is the subject of intensive research. Between There is a fundamental difference in this regard between polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP), which are currently mainly used as a dielectric. Due to the polar polymer structure, PET has a critical surface tension of approx. 43 mN / m, which is sufficient to adhere to the metal, e.g. B. aluminum to ensure.
  • the critical surface tension of polyolefin films is with 30 to 33 mN / m in a range which is not sufficient to ensure adhesion to the vapor-deposited metal layer. For this reason, the surfaces of polyolefin films have to be treated with various processes in order to increase the surface tension and to achieve wettability, adhesion and metallizability.
  • corona treatment The most commonly used procedure is treatment with a high-frequency AC voltage (10-60 kHz, 10-20 kV), the so-called corona treatment.
  • the surface tension can be increased up to 50 mN / m.
  • surface tensions of 36 to 42 mN / m are usually set by means of corona discharge.
  • the disadvantages of corona treatment are that e.g. during the treatment, the surface tension is time-dependent form small-molecule fragments of the polymer chain, which can weaken the bond between the polymer surface and a vapor-deposited metal layer.
  • a capacitor For economic reasons, it is desirable to construct a capacitor from a film that is metallized on both sides and an unmetallized film. As described in US Pat. No. 3,900,775, this is possible, for example, by using a polyethylene terephthalate film metallized on both sides and an unmetallized polypropylene film.
  • the disadvantage of this structure is the greatly increased value of the polypropylene tan ⁇ of polyethylene terephthalate.
  • polyolefin films are preferred to polyester films in AC applications.
  • the economical production of metallized polypropylene films that are steamed on both sides is much more difficult and has not yet been carried out industrially.
  • the object of the present invention was further to provide a process for producing a metallized polyolefin film, if possible on both sides, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular the additional process step for increasing the surface tension.
  • the object is achieved by a single- or double-sided metallized single or multilayer polyolefin film, at least one outermost layer of the unmetallized polyolefin film consisting essentially of a cycloolefin polymer which was not exposed to a process for increasing the surface tension before the metallization.
  • 'Metallized on one or both sides' means that the film has a metal layer on one or both surfaces.
  • One or more layers means that the unmetallized film is either a Monofilm is, i.e. consists of only one layer or has a multi-layer structure and can accordingly be composed of two, three, four, five or even more layers. It is essential to the invention that the monofilm or at least one outermost layer of the multilayer film consists essentially of a cycloolefin polymer.
  • the term consists essentially of a cycloolefin polymer means that the monofilm or at least one outermost layer of the multilayer film is at least 90-100% by weight, preferably at least 95-100% by weight, in particular at least 98-99% by weight (based on the weight of the monofilm or the outermost layer of the multilayer film) consists of cycloolefin polymer. If necessary, the single-layer film or the outermost layer can additionally contain additives which are usually used in film production.
  • pre-metallization does not mean that there is no surface tension increasing process means that after its usual manufacturing process, which usually includes extrusion, stretching and heat setting, the film is not subjected to any additional treatment which results in the surface tension increasing. This includes common processes such as corona or flame treatment. It is essential to the invention that the metallization can take place without the film being subjected to such a process beforehand.
  • Cycloolefin polymers are materials that are characterized by high heat resistance, high moduli of elasticity, low water absorption and good dielectric properties.

  • DD-241 971 low values are for tan ⁇ of particular interest for high-frequency alternating current applications, since this can result in heating due to electrical power loss in the film.
  • cycloolefin polymers suitable materials for use as a dielectric in AC applications with high frequencies.
  • these materials have very good constancy of electrical properties up to temperatures that are just below the glass levels of the polymers.

  • the cyclolefin copolymer films can be metallized at low surface tension without any pretreatment. This behavior is also largely independent of the glass level of the cycloolefin polymer.
  • This invention is particularly surprising since it has been found in further investigations that corona treatment is required in order to be able to print on the film.

Im Bezug auf die Metallisierbarkeit ist bekannt, daß Polyesterfolien einfacher zu metallisieren sind als Polyolefinfolien, da diese vor der Metallisierung einer Oberflächenbehandlung unterzogen werden müssen, um eine Haftung des Metalls auf der Folie zu erzielen. Die Metallisierung von dünnen Folien für den Einsatz in Kondensatoren ist der Gegenstand intensiven forscherischen Bemühens. Zwischen dem zur Zeit überwiegend als Dielektrikum eingesetzten Polyethylenterephthalat (PET) und Polypropylen (PP) besteht diesbezüglich ein fundamentaler Unterschied. Aufgrund der polaren Polymerstruktur besitzt PET eine kritische Oberflächenspannung von ca. 43 mN/m, die ausreicht, um eine Haftung zum Metall, z. B. Aluminium, zu gewährleisten. Die kritische Oberflächenspannung von Polyolefinfolien liegt dagegen mit 30 bis 33 mN/m in einem Bereich, der nicht ausreicht, um eine Haftung zu der aufgedampften Metallschicht zu gewährleisten. Aus diesem Grund müssen die Oberflächen von Polyolefinfolien mit verschiedenen Verfahren behandelt werden, um die Oberflächenspannung zu erhöhen und eine Benetz-, Verkleb- und Metallisierbarkeit zu erreichen.With regard to the metallizability, it is known that polyester foils are easier to metallize than polyolefin foils, since these have to be subjected to a surface treatment before the metallization in order to achieve adhesion of the metal to the foil. The metallization of thin foils for use in capacitors is the subject of intensive research. Between There is a fundamental difference in this regard between polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP), which are currently mainly used as a dielectric. Due to the polar polymer structure, PET has a critical surface tension of approx. 43 mN / m, which is sufficient to adhere to the metal, e.g. B. aluminum to ensure. The critical surface tension of polyolefin films, on the other hand, is with 30 to 33 mN / m in a range which is not sufficient to ensure adhesion to the vapor-deposited metal layer. For this reason, the surfaces of polyolefin films have to be treated with various processes in order to increase the surface tension and to achieve wettability, adhesion and metallizability.

Das am häufigsten verwendete Verfahren ist die Behandlung mit einer hochfrequenten Wechselspannung (10-60 kHz, 10-20 kV), die sogenannte Koronabehandlung. Dabei kann die Oberflächenspannung auf bis zu 50 mN/m erhöht werden. Bei Polyolefinfolien, insbesondere biaxial orientierten Folien aus Polypropylen, werden üblicherweise mittels Koronaentladung Oberflächenspannungen von 36 bis 42 mN/m eingestellt. Die Nachteile einer Koronabehandlung sind jedoch, daß z.B. die Oberflächenspannung zeitabhängig ist bei der Behandlung niedermolekulare Bruchstücke der Polymerkette bilden, die zu einer Schwächung des Verbundes zwischen der Polymeroberfläche und einer aufgedampften Metallschicht führen können.The most commonly used procedure is treatment with a high-frequency AC voltage (10-60 kHz, 10-20 kV), the so-called corona treatment. The surface tension can be increased up to 50 mN / m. In the case of polyolefin films, in particular biaxially oriented films made of polypropylene, surface tensions of 36 to 42 mN / m are usually set by means of corona discharge. The disadvantages of corona treatment, however, are that e.g. during the treatment, the surface tension is time-dependent form small-molecule fragments of the polymer chain, which can weaken the bond between the polymer surface and a vapor-deposited metal layer.

Aus ökonomischen Gründen ist es wünschenswert, einen Kondensator aus einer beidseitig metallisierten und einer unmetallisierten Folie aufzubauen. Wie in US-3,900,775 beschrieben, ist dies zum Beispiel durch die Verwendung einer beidseitig metallisierten Polyethylenterephthalatfolie und einer unmetallisierten Polypropylenfolie möglich. Nachteil dieses Aufbaus ist jedoch der gegenüber Polypropylen stark erhöhte Wert des tan δ

Figure imgb0004
von Polyethylenterephthalat. Aus Gründen des besseren dielektrischen Verlustfaktors werden Polyolefinfolien den Polyesterfolien bei Wechselstromanwendungen vorgezogen. Die ökonomische Herstellung von beidseitig bedampften (metallisierten) Polypropylenfolien ist jedoch wesentlich schwieriger und wird bislang nicht industriell durchgeführt. Ein Problem ist die Koronabehandlung, die auf beiden Seiten der Folie vor der Metallisierung durchgeführt werden muß. Diese führt durch die dabei aufgebrachten elektrostatischen Ladungen zu einem Zusammenkleben (Blocken) der Folie auf dem Wickel. Durch die beim Abwickeln auftretenden Adhäsionskräfte werden wiederum Ladungen erzeugt, die ein anschließendes gleichmäßiges Bedampfen mit dem Metall unmöglich machen. Dieses Problem kann laut DE-A-28 02 769 umgangen werden, indem eine Entladung der Folie vor dem Bedampfen vorgenommen wird. Aber auch dies stellt einen zusätzlichen Verfahrensschritt und damit eine zusätzliche Fehlerquelle dar und ist deshalb unwirtschaftlich.For economic reasons, it is desirable to construct a capacitor from a film that is metallized on both sides and an unmetallized film. As described in US Pat. No. 3,900,775, this is possible, for example, by using a polyethylene terephthalate film metallized on both sides and an unmetallized polypropylene film. The disadvantage of this structure, however, is the greatly increased value of the polypropylene tan δ
Figure imgb0004
 of polyethylene terephthalate. For reasons of better dielectric loss factor, polyolefin films are preferred to polyester films in AC applications. However, the economical production of metallized polypropylene films that are steamed on both sides is much more difficult and has not yet been carried out industrially. One problem is the corona treatment, which is done on both sides of the film before metallization must be carried out. This causes the film to stick together (block) on the roll due to the electrostatic charges applied. The adhesive forces that occur during unwinding in turn generate charges that make subsequent subsequent vapor deposition with the metal impossible. According to DE-A-28 02 769, this problem can be avoided by unloading the film before vapor deposition. But this also represents an additional procedural step and thus an additional source of error and is therefore uneconomical.

Es besteht deshalb nach wie vor das Bedürfnis nach einer metallisierbaren, vorzugsweise beidseitig metallisierten Polyolefinfolie, bei der die Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermieden werden und die einen niedrigen dielektrischen Verlustfaktor und hohe Temperaturbeständigkeit aufweist.There is therefore still a need for a metallizable, preferably double-sided metallized polyolefin film in which the disadvantages of the prior art are avoided and which has a low dielectric loss factor and high temperature resistance.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung bestand weiterhin darin, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer - möglichst beidseitig - metallisierten Polyolefinfolie zur Verfügung zu stellen, das die Nachteile des Standes der Technik, insbesondere den zusätzlichen Verfahrensschritt zur Erhöhung der Oberflächenspannung, vermeidet.The object of the present invention was further to provide a process for producing a metallized polyolefin film, if possible on both sides, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular the additional process step for increasing the surface tension.

Überraschenderweise wurde nun gefunden, daß sich aus der Vielzahl der Polyolefine die Cycloolefinpolymere - entgegen allen Erwartungen - ohne Oberflächenspannung erhöhende Vorbehandlung metallisieren lassen.Surprisingly, it has now been found that, contrary to all expectations, the cycloolefin polymers can be metallized from the large number of polyolefins without a pretreatment which increases surface tension.

Dementsprechend wird die gestellte Aufgabe gelöst durch eine ein- oder beidseitig metallisierte ein- oder mehrschichtige Polyolefinfolie, wobei mindestens eine äußerste Schicht der unmetallisierten Polyolefinfolie im wesentlichen aus einem Cycloolefinpolymeren besteht, welches vor der Metallisierung keinem Verfahren zur Erhöhung der Oberflächenspannung ausgesetzt wurde.Accordingly, the object is achieved by a single- or double-sided metallized single or multilayer polyolefin film, at least one outermost layer of the unmetallized polyolefin film consisting essentially of a cycloolefin polymer which was not exposed to a process for increasing the surface tension before the metallization.

'Ein- oder beidseitig' metallisiert heißt, daß die Folie auf einer oder auf beiden Oberflächen eine Metallschicht trägt.'Metallized on one or both sides' means that the film has a metal layer on one or both surfaces.

Ein- oder mehrschichtig bedeutet, daß die unmetallisierte Folie entweder eine Monofolie ist, also aus nur einer Schicht besteht oder mehrschichtig aufgebaut ist und dementsprechend aus zwei, drei, vier, fünf oder noch mehr Schichten aufgebaut sein kann. Erfindungswesentlich ist hierbei, daß die Monofolie oder zumindest eine äußerste Schicht der Mehrschichtfolie im wesentlichen aus einem Cycloolefinpolymeren besteht.One or more layers means that the unmetallized film is either a Monofilm is, i.e. consists of only one layer or has a multi-layer structure and can accordingly be composed of two, three, four, five or even more layers. It is essential to the invention that the monofilm or at least one outermost layer of the multilayer film consists essentially of a cycloolefin polymer.

Der Ausdruck im wesentlichen aus einem Cycloolefinpolymeren besteht

Figure imgb0005
bedeutet, daß die Monofolie oder mindestens eine äußerste Schicht der Mehrschichtfolie zu mindestens 90-100 Gew.-%, bevorzugt mindestens 95-100 Gew.-%, insbesondere mindestens 98-99 Gew.-% (bezogen auf das Gewicht der Monofolie bzw. der äußersten Schicht der Mehrschichtfolie) aus Cycloolefinpolymer besteht. Gegebenenfalls kann die einschichtige Folie oder die äußerste Schicht zusätzlich Additive enthalten, die üblicherweise bei der Folienherstellung eingesetzt werden.The term consists essentially of a cycloolefin polymer
Figure imgb0005
means that the monofilm or at least one outermost layer of the multilayer film is at least 90-100% by weight, preferably at least 95-100% by weight, in particular at least 98-99% by weight (based on the weight of the monofilm or the outermost layer of the multilayer film) consists of cycloolefin polymer. If necessary, the single-layer film or the outermost layer can additionally contain additives which are usually used in film production.

Der Ausdruck vor der Metallisierung keinem Verfahren zur Erhöhung der Oberflächenspannung ausgesetzt bedeutet, daß die Folie nach ihrem üblichen Herstellungsprozess, welcher gewöhnlich die Extrusion, die Streckung und die Thermofixierung umfaßt, keiner zusätzlichen Behandlung unterworfen wird, die die Erhöhung der Oberflächenspannung zur Folge hat. Hierunter sind übliche Verfahren wie die Korona- oder Flammbehandlung zu verstehen. Es ist erfindungswesentlich, daß die Metallisierung erfolgen kann, ohne daß die Folie vorher einem solchen Verfahren unterworfen wird.The term pre-metallization does not mean that there is no surface tension increasing process means that after its usual manufacturing process, which usually includes extrusion, stretching and heat setting, the film is not subjected to any additional treatment which results in the surface tension increasing. This includes common processes such as corona or flame treatment. It is essential to the invention that the metallization can take place without the film being subjected to such a process beforehand.

Cycloolefinpolymere sind Materialien, die sich durch hohe Wärmeformbeständigkeiten, hohe Elastizitätsmoduln, geringe Wasseraufnahme und gute dielektrische Eigenschaften auszeichnen.Cycloolefin polymers are materials that are characterized by high heat resistance, high moduli of elasticity, low water absorption and good dielectric properties.

Die DD-A-224 538 beschreibt die Herstellung von Folien aus Norbornen-Ethylen-Copolymeren durch ein Gießfilmverfahren. Die Herstellung von Cycloolefinpolymerfilmen durch Schmelzextrusion wird in EP-A-0 384 694, EP-A-0 610 814, EP-A-0 610 815 und EP-A-0 610 816 beschrieben. Die Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Folien durch monoaxiales oder biaxiales Verstrecken wird ebenfalls in diesen Schriften beschrieben.DD-A-224 538 describes the production of films from norbornene-ethylene copolymers by a cast film process. The production of cycloolefin polymer films by melt extrusion is described in EP-A-0 384 694, EP-A-0 610 814, EP-A-0 610 815 and EP-A-0 610 816. The improvement of the mechanical properties of the films by monoaxial or biaxial stretching is also described in these documents.

Die DD-241 971 und DD-224538 führen aus, daß sich Folien aus Cycloolefinpolymeren durch niedrige dielektrische Verlustfaktoren ( tan δ

) auszeichnen. Die angegebenen Werte für tan δ
Figure imgb0007
 von bis zu 1,2·10-5 liegen unter den Werten wie sie für Polymermaterialien, die nach dem gegenwärtigen Stand der Technik als Dielektrika in Kondensatoren verwendet werden, gefunden werden. Nur Polystyrol weist ähnlich niedrige Werte auf. Wie in DD-241 971 weiter ausgeführt, sind niedrige Werte für tan δ
Figure imgb0008
 vor allem für hochfrequente Wechselstromanwendungen von Interesse, da es hier durch elektrische Verlustleistung in der Folie zur Erwärmung kommen kann. Aufgrund der Kombination von hoher Temperaturbeständigkeit (Beständigkeit der mechanischen und der elektrischen Folieneigenschaften bei höheren Temperaturen) und niedrigem tan δ
Figure imgb0009
 sind Cycloolefinpolymere bestens als Folien für Kondensatoren geeignet, die bei hohen Temperaturen und hohen Frequenzen eingesetzt werden können. Folien auf Polystyrolbasis bieten diesen Vorteil nicht, da sie bereits bei Temperaturen um 90 °C zu erweichen beginnen.DD-241 971 and DD-224538 state that films made of cycloolefin polymers are characterized by low dielectric loss factors ( tan δ

 ) mark. The specified values for tan δ
Figure imgb0007
 of up to 1.2 · 10 -5 are below the values found for polymer materials which are used as dielectrics in capacitors according to the current state of the art. Only polystyrene has similarly low values. As further stated in DD-241 971, low values are for tan δ
Figure imgb0008
 of particular interest for high-frequency alternating current applications, since this can result in heating due to electrical power loss in the film. Due to the combination of high temperature resistance (resistance of the mechanical and electrical film properties at higher temperatures) and low tan δ
Figure imgb0009
 cycloolefin polymers are ideal as films for capacitors that can be used at high temperatures and high frequencies. Polystyrene-based films do not offer this advantage because they start to soften at temperatures around 90 ° C.

Die Kombination der oben genannten Eigenschaften macht Cycloolefinpolymere zu geeigneten Materialien für den Einsatz als Dielektrikum in Wechselspannungsanwendungen mit hohen Frequenzen. Zudem weisen diese Materialien eine sehr gute Konstanz der elektrischen Eigenschaften bis zu Temperaturen, die kurz unterhalb der Glasstufen der Polymere liegen, auf. Deshalb eignen sich Cycloolefinpolymere besonders für den Einsatz in Kondensatoren, die einem elektrischen Wechselfeld bei hohen Frequenzen und hohen Temperaturen ausgesetzt sind.The combination of the above properties makes cycloolefin polymers suitable materials for use as a dielectric in AC applications with high frequencies. In addition, these materials have very good constancy of electrical properties up to temperatures that are just below the glass levels of the polymers. Cycloolefin polymers are therefore particularly suitable for use in capacitors that are exposed to an alternating electrical field at high frequencies and high temperatures.

Cycloolefinpolymere lassen sich sehr gut zu biaxial orientierten Folien mit guten mechanischen Eigenschaften verarbeiten. Die orientierten Filme besitzen Moduli im Bereich von 2,7 bis 4,0 GPa, Reißfestigkeiten von 80 bis 150 MPa und Reißdehnungen im Bereich von 5 bis 100 %. Die Oberflächenspannung dieser Folien liegt im Bereich von 30 bis 31 mN/m und ist somit typisch für Polyolefin-Folien. Ebenfalls typisch ist, daß der polare Anteil an der Oberflächenspannung sehr gering ist. Es war daher zu erwarten, daß Cycloolefinpolymerfolien - wie auch andere Polyolefinfolien - nicht ohne Vorbehandlung zur Erhöhung der Oberflächenspannung zu metallisieren sind. Deshalb war es umso überraschender, daß die Cyclolefincopolymerfolien sich ohne jede Vorbehandlung bei niedriger Oberflächenspannung metallisieren lassen. Dieses Verhalten ist auch weitgehend unabhängig von der Glasstufe des Cycloolefinpolymeren. Diese Erfindung ist insbesondere überraschend, da in weiteren Untersuchungen gefunden wurde, daß jedoch eine Koronabehandlung erforderlich ist, um die Folie bedrucken zu können. Wie bei anderen Polyolefinfolien steigt dabei die Oberflächenspannung der behandelten Folie. Nach der Koronabehandlung werden Werte für die Oberflächenspannung erhalten, wie sie typisch für Polyolefine sind.Cycloolefin polymers can be processed very well into biaxially oriented films with good mechanical properties. The oriented films have moduli in the range from 2.7 to 4.0 GPa, tear strengths from 80 to 150 MPa and elongation at break in the range from 5 to 100%. The surface tension of these films is in the range from 30 to 31 mN / m and is therefore typical for polyolefin films. It is also typical that the polar part of the surface tension is very low. It was therefore to be expected that cycloolefin polymer films - like other polyolefin films - would not be without pretreatment to increase the Surface tension must be metallized. It was therefore all the more surprising that the cyclolefin copolymer films can be metallized at low surface tension without any pretreatment. This behavior is also largely independent of the glass level of the cycloolefin polymer. This invention is particularly surprising since it has been found in further investigations that corona treatment is required in order to be able to print on the film. As with other polyolefin films, the surface tension of the treated film increases. After the corona treatment, values for the surface tension are obtained, which are typical for polyolefins.

Cycloolefin polymers obtained by ring-opening polymerization of at least one of the monomers having the formulas I to VI and subsequent hydrogenation of the products obtained are also suitable.

Die Herstellung der Cycloolefinpolymere geschieht durch eine heterogene oder homogene Katalyse mit metallorganischen Verbindungen und ist in einer Vielzahl von Dokumenten beschrieben. Katalysatorsysteme basierend auf Mischkatalysatoren aus Titan- bzw. Vanadiumverbindungen in Verbindung mit Aluminiumorganylen werden in DD 109 224, DD 237 070 und EP-A-0 156 464 beschrieben. EP-A-0 283 164, EP-A-0 407 870, EP-A-0 485 893 und EP-A-0 503 422 beschreiben die Herstellung von Cycloolefinpolymeren mit Katalysatoren basierend auf löslichen Metallocenkomplexen. Auf die in diesen Schritten beschriebenen Herstellverfahren von Cycloolefinpolymeren wird hier ausdrücklich bezuggenommen.The cycloolefin polymers are produced by a heterogeneous or homogeneous catalysis with organometallic compounds and is described in a large number of documents. Catalyst systems based on mixed catalysts made of titanium or vanadium compounds in connection with aluminum organyls are described in DD 109 224, DD 237 070 and EP-A-0 156 464.

The production processes for cycloolefin polymers described in these steps are expressly referred to here.

Die erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Cycloolefinpolymerfolien können die bei der Folienherstellung üblichen Additive wie feine inerte Partikel, die das Schlupf- und Wickelverhalten verbessern, enthalten. Solche Partikel, die in Menge von 0 bis 1 % enthalten sein können, sind beispielsweise:
SiO2, Al2O3, Silikate mit einem SiO2-Anteil von mindestens 30 Gew.-%, amorphe und kristalline Tonminerale, Alumosilikate, Oxide von Mg, Zn, Zr und Ti, Sulfate von Ca, Mg und Ba, Phosphate von Li, Na und Ca (inklusive der Monohydrogensalze und Dihydrogensalze), Benzoate von Li, Na und K, Terephthalate von Ca, Ba, Zn und Mn, Titanate von Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn, Cd, Pb, Sr, Mn, Fe, Co und Ni, Chromate von Ba und Pb, Kohlenstoff (z.B. Ruß oder Graphit), Glas (Glaspulver und Glaskugeln), Carbonate von Ca und Mg, Flußspat, Sulfide von Zn und Mo, organische Polymersubstanzen wie Polytetrafluorethylenpolyethylen, Talkum, Lithiumfluorid, und die Ca-, Ba-, Zn- und Mn-Salze von organischen Säuren.The cycloolefin polymer films used according to the invention can contain the additives which are customary in film production, such as fine inert particles, which improve the slip and winding behavior. Such particles, which can be contained in an amount of 0 to 1%, are for example:
SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , silicates with an SiO 2 content of at least 30% by weight, amorphous and crystalline clay minerals, aluminosilicates, oxides of Mg, Zn, Zr and Ti, sulfates of Ca, Mg and Ba, phosphates of Li, Na and Ca (including the monohydrogen salts and dihydrogen salts), benzoates of Li, Na and K, terephthalates of Ca, Ba, Zn and Mn, titanates of Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn, Cd, Pb, Sr, Mn, Fe , Co and Ni, chromates of Ba and Pb, carbon (e.g. carbon black or graphite), glass (glass powder and glass balls), carbonates of Ca and Mg, fluorspar, sulfides of Zn and Mo, organic polymer substances such as polytetrafluoroethylene polyethylene, talc, lithium fluoride, and the Ca, Ba, Zn and Mn salts of organic acids.

Die Folie kann auch geeignete Additive wie z.B. Stabilisatoren, Neutralisationsmittel, Gleitmittel oder Antioxidantien enthalten. Prinzipiell sind Additive, die für Polyolefine wie Polyethylen oder Polypropylen verwendet werden, auch für die Cycloolefinpolymerfolien geeignet. Als UV-Stabilisatoren können beispielsweise Absorber wie Hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole, Hydroxybenzophenone, Formamidin oder Benzyliden-Campher, Quencher wie Zimtsäureester oder Nickel-Chelate, Radikalfänger wie sterisch gehinderte Phenole, Hydroperoxidzersetzer wie Nickel- oder Zink-Komplexe schwefelhaltiger Verbindungen oder Lichtstabilisatoren vom HALS-Typ, sowie deren Gemische eingesetzt werden. Als Gleitmittel können beispielsweise verwendet werden: Fettsäuren sowie deren Ester, Amide und Salze, Silikone oder Wachse wie PP- oder PE-Wachse. Als Antioxidantien können beispielsweise zugesetzt werden Radikalfänger wie substituierte Phenole und aromatische Amine und/oder Peroxidzersetzer wie Phosphite, Phosphate und Thioverbindungen.The film can also contain suitable additives such as stabilizers, neutralizing agents, lubricants or antioxidants. In principle, additives which are used for polyolefins such as polyethylene or polypropylene are also suitable for the cycloolefin polymer films. Examples of UV stabilizers which can be used are absorbers such as hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles, hydroxybenzophenones, formamidine or benzylidene-camphor, quenchers such as cinnamic acid esters or nickel chelates, radical scavengers such as sterically hindered phenols, hydroperoxide decomposers such as nickel or zinc complexes of sulfur-containing compounds or light stabilizers, and HAL type stabilizers whose mixtures are used. Can be used as a lubricant for example: fatty acids and their esters, amides and salts, silicones or waxes such as PP or PE waxes. Free radical scavengers such as substituted phenols and aromatic amines and / or peroxide decomposers such as phosphites, phosphates and thio compounds can be added as antioxidants, for example.

Die Herstellung der Cycloolefinpolymerfolien geschieht in üblicher, dem Fachmann bekannter Weise, zum Beispiel durch Gießen von Filmen aus Lösung, Extrusion aus der Schmelze mit Breitschlitzdüsen und anschließender mono- oder biaxialer Verstreckung, Extrusion aus der Schmelze mit Ringdüsen unter anschließender Verstreckung mittels eines Lufstromes (Folienblasen). Bevorzugt ist die Breitschlitzdüsenextrusion mit anschließender sequentieller biaxialer Orientierung und Thermofixierung. Hierbei wird das Polymer in einem Extruder erwärmt und aufgeschmolzen und durch eine Breitschlitzdüse auf eine Abkühlwalze extrudiert; gewöhnlich wird der so erhaltene Vorfilm dann von der Abkühlwalze abgezogen und anschließend biaxial, d.h. meist zunächst in Maschinen- und dann in Querrichtung, gestreckt. An diese biaxiale Orientierung schließt sich üblicherweise eine Thermofixierung an, worauf die Folie aufgewickelt wird. Bei diesem Verfahren kann die Folie sowohl als Monofolie als auch als Mehrschichtfolie extrudiert werden, wobei dann zumindest eine äußerste Schicht im wesentlichen aus Cycloolefinpolymeren, wie oben beschrieben, besteht. Die übrigen Schichten der Mehrschichtfolie können beispielsweise ebenfalls aus Cycloolefinpolymeren - gegebenenfalls anderen als dem in der Deckschicht verwendeten - bestehen aber auch aus anderen Polymeren insbesondere Polyolefinen wie Polyethylen oder Polypropylen. Auf diese Weise lassen sich Folien mit einem Dickenspektrum von 2 bis 50 µm, vorzugsweise 3 bis 30 µm, herstellen.The cycloolefin polymer films are produced in the customary manner known to the person skilled in the art, for example by casting films from solution, extrusion from the melt with slot dies and subsequent mono- or biaxial stretching, extrusion from the melt with ring dies and subsequent stretching by means of an air stream (film blowing ). Wide slot die extrusion with subsequent sequential biaxial orientation and heat setting is preferred. Here, the polymer is heated and melted in an extruder and extruded through a slot die onto a cooling roll; usually the pre-film thus obtained is then drawn off the cooling roll and then biaxially, i.e. usually stretched first in the machine and then in the transverse direction. This biaxial orientation is usually followed by heat setting, on which the film is wound up. In this process, the film can be extruded both as a mono film and as a multilayer film, in which case at least one outermost layer essentially consists of cycloolefin polymers, as described above. The remaining layers of the multilayer film can, for example, also consist of cycloolefin polymers - possibly other than those used in the cover layer - but also consist of other polymers, in particular polyolefins such as polyethylene or polypropylene. In this way, films with a thickness spectrum of 2 to 50 μm, preferably 3 to 30 μm, can be produced.

Die so hergestellte Folie kann dann ohne vorherige Maßnahmen zur Erhöhung der Oberflächenenergie, d.h. beispielsweise ohne vorherige Koronabehandlung, mit einer Metallschicht versehen werden. Als Metalle eignen sich beispielsweise Aluminium, Zink, Mischungen aus Zink und Aluminium oder Silber. Bevorzugt werden Aluminium und Zink, sowie Mischungen und/oder Legierungen hiervon eingesetzt. Die Metallisierung geschieht in üblicher, dem Fachmann geläufiger Weise, beispielsweise durch Bedampfen der Folie im Vakuum. Der erfindungsgemäße Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, daß die Cycloolefinpolymerfolien nicht nur einseitig sondern nunmehr auch beidseitig metallisiert werden können.The film produced in this way can then be provided with a metal layer without previous measures to increase the surface energy, ie for example without prior corona treatment. Examples of suitable metals are aluminum, zinc, mixtures of zinc and aluminum or silver. Aluminum and zinc, and mixtures and / or alloys thereof are preferably used. The metallization takes place in the usual way, which is more familiar to the person skilled in the art Way, for example by evaporating the film in vacuo. The advantage according to the invention can be seen in the fact that the cycloolefin polymer films can not only be metallized on one side but now also on both sides.

Aus den metallisierten Cycloolefinpolymerfolien lassen sich nach üblichen Verfahren Kondensatoren herstellen.Capacitors can be produced from the metallized cycloolefin polymer films by customary processes.

Nachfolgend ist die Erfindung anhand von Beispielen näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of examples.

Beispiel 1example 1 Herstellung eines Norbornen/Ethylen-Polymeren (COC-A)Production of a norbornene / ethylene polymer (COC-A)

Eine 1,5-dm3-Reaktor wurde mit 1 Liter Benzinfraktion (Siedebereich 90 bis 110 °C) und 20 ml toluolischer Methylaluminoxanlösung (10,1 Gew.-% Methylaluminoxan der Molmasse 1300 g/mol nach kryoskopischer Bestimmung) befüllt und bei 70 °C ca. 30 min gerührt, um eventuell vorhandene Verunreinigungen zu entfernen. Nach Ablassen der Lösung wurde der Reaktor mit 480 cm3 einer 85-gewichtsprozentigen Lösung von Norbornen in Toluol beschickt. Durch mehrfaches Aufdrücken von Ethylen (6 bar G) wurde die Lösung mit Ethylen gesättigt und anschließend 10 cm3 der toluolischen Methylaluminoxanlösung in den Reaktor gegeben und 5 min bei 70 °C gerührt. Eine Lösung von 5,43 mg Isopropylen-(1-cyclopentadienyl)-(1-indenyl)-zirkondichlorid in 10 cm3 toluolischer Methylaluminoxanlösung wurde nach 15-minütiger Voraktivierung zugegeben.A 1.5 dm 3 reactor was filled with 1 liter of gasoline fraction (boiling range 90 to 110 ° C.) and 20 ml of toluene methylaluminoxane solution (10.1% by weight methylaluminoxane with a molecular weight of 1300 g / mol after cryoscopic determination) and at 70 ° C stirred for approx. 30 min to remove any contamination. After draining the solution, the reactor was charged with 480 cm 3 of an 85 weight percent solution of norbornene in toluene. The solution was saturated with ethylene by repeatedly pressing in ethylene (6 bar G) and then 10 cm 3 of the toluene methylaluminoxane solution were added to the reactor and stirred at 70 ° C. for 5 min. A solution of 5.43 mg of isopropylene (1-cyclopentadienyl) - (1-indenyl) zirconium dichloride in 10 cm 3 of toluene methylaluminoxane solution was added after 15 minutes of preactivation.

Unter Rühren (750 UPM) wurde 30 min bei 70 °C polymerisiert, wobei der Ethylendruck durch Nachdosieren bei 6 bar G gehalten wurde. Die homogene Reaktionslösung wurde in ein Gefäß abgelassen und mit ca. 1 ml Wasser versetzt. Anschließend wird die Lösung mit einem Filterhilfsmittel versetzt und über eine Drucknutsche filtriert. Diese Lösung wird schnell in 5 dm3 Aceton eingegossen, 10 min gerührt und filtriert. Der erhaltene Feststoff wurde mit Aceton gewaschen. Das erneut filtrierte Polymer wurde bei 80 °C und einem Druck von 0,2 bar 15 Stunden getrocknet.The mixture was polymerized with stirring (750 rpm) at 70 ° C. for 30 min, the ethylene pressure being kept at 6 bar G by further metering. The homogeneous reaction solution was drained into a vessel and about 1 ml of water was added. Then the solution is mixed with a filter aid and filtered through a pressure filter. This solution is quickly poured into 5 dm 3 of acetone, stirred for 10 min and filtered. The solid obtained was washed with acetone. The refiltered polymer was dried at 80 ° C. and a pressure of 0.2 bar for 15 hours.

Es wurden 89,1 g eines farblosen Polymers erhalten. Zur Bestimmung der Viskositätszahl wurden 0,1 g des Polymeren in 100 ml Dekalin gelöst. Die Lösung wurde in einem Kappillarviskosimeter bei 135 °C vermessen. Die Viskositätszahl betrug 56,5 dl/g. Die Glastemperaturen wurden mit einem DSC7 der Firma Perkin Elmer bestimmt. Die Glastemperatur wurde bei einer Heizrate von 20 °C/min aus der zweiten Heizkurve ermittelt und betrug 175 °C. Der Gehalt an Norbornen wurde mittel 13C-Kernresonanzspektroskopie zu 58-Mol% ermittelt. Das Molekulargewicht des Polymeren wurde mittels Gelpermeationschromatographie bei 135 °C ermittelt. Als Standards wurden Polyethylenfraktionen verwendet. Für das Polymer wurden folgende Werte gefunden:
   Mn : 21500 g/mol
   Mw: 45000 g/mol
   Mw/Mn : 2,1.89.1 g of a colorless polymer were obtained. To determine the viscosity number, 0.1 g of the polymer was dissolved in 100 ml of decalin. The solution was measured in a capillary viscometer at 135 ° C. The viscosity number was 56.5 dl / g. The glass transition temperatures were determined using a DSC7 from Perkin Elmer. The glass transition temperature was determined at a heating rate of 20 ° C / min from the second heating curve and was 175 ° C. The content of norbornene was determined to be 58 mol% by means of 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The molecular weight of the polymer was determined by gel permeation chromatography at 135 ° C. Polyethylene fractions were used as standards. The following values were found for the polymer:
M n : 21500 g / mol
M w : 45000 g / mol
M w / M n : 2.1.
